Inaki Williams was on target as Athletic Bilbao defeated Basque rivals Osasuna in a pre-season friendly on Saturday.
Alvaro Djalo, who is of Guinea-Bissau heritage, put the reigning Copa del Rey champions in front in the 19th minute before Raul Garcia levelled for Osasuna seven minutes later.
The scores remained 1-1 until Inaki Williams popped up with the winner in the 65th minute.
It was the Ghanaian forward’s second goal of pre-season after netting in a 2-1 win over Racing Santander on July 24.
He scored a total of 14 competitive goals and provided five assists last season with Bilbao finishing eight points shy of the top four in fifth.
